Oozing retro glam, CASA Restaurant at The Ritz, which flows out to the pool deck, will instantly transport you back to 1980s Miami with its urban-resort style and relaxed atmosphere.
From a continental breakfast buffet to a decadent Sunday brunch, accompanied by DJs playing sultry house music, to all-day dining from a cosmopolitan menu that includes everything from sushi to pizza, CASA caters for all tastes and appetites.
Recognising that local trade is just as important as filling rooms with guests, The Ritz encourages everyone to come and enjoy the facilities – whether it’s a meal or simply a drink by the sparkling pool – and the budget-friendly prices reflect this.
“Will you fit in? Yes, you will,” says general manager Johann du Plessis.
The palm-frond Martinique wallpaper, originally designed for the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, adorns the walls and is reflected in pillars of smoky mirrors, while potted palm trees carry the tropical feeling outside to the pool. For the ultimate in sexy indulgence, seclude yourself in a private cabana and have your sushi platters and champagne served to you by attentive staff who put their focus on personal service. You can reasonably expect the waiter to remember your name and what you drink once you become a regular.
Got the kids in tow? No problem. A shaded and supervised play area is filled with toys to keep them happy, occupied, and out of the grownups’ hair while they soak up the sun on a lounger where oversized sunglasses and big hats are the order of the day.
Take it up a notch at the Champagne Bar, which serves French bubbles alongside chilled Whispering Angel rosé from acclaimed Côtes de Provence producer Chateau d’Esclans, as well as numerous local brands on offer.
Stroll in at any time; booking is not required but advisable during peak season. CASA caters for private events (after breakfast) as well. Entrees range from R75 to R166, pizzas from R85 to R240, sushi from R45, desserts are priced between R55 and R75 and prices on the children’s menu range between R25 and R75.
